The Mid-Atlantic Foundation for Safety and Education and AAA Mid-Atlantic honored nine area students – including three from Henrico – at the Outstanding AAA School Safety Patrol Awards Luncheon in Richmond last month.
The foundation received dozens of applications from schools throughout the state and selected the top nine nominees who excelled in the areas of leadership, dependability, character and academics. The students each received a $100 gift card and plaque from the Mid-Atlantic Foundation for Safety and Education.
“Every student involved in AAA’s Safety Patrol program plays a key role in keeping their fellow classmates safe,” said Haley Glynn, Traffic Safety Community Educator for the Mid-Atlantic Foundation for Safety and Education. “It is an honor to recognize the patrollers that have gone above and beyond the call of duty. These nine students truly exemplify the leadership skills we look for in great safety patrollers, and I know they are destined to go on to do bigger and better things.”
The Henrico students honored were:
• Aryaan Agnihorti – Academy of Academic Excellence;
• Joel Wilson – Echo Lake Elementary School;
• Tucker Tetterton – Ruby F. Carver Elementary School.
The School Safety Patrol program began in 1920 in Chicago, Illinois. As of today, there are approximately 654,000 students who serve as safety patrollers throughout the U.S., including more than 93,000 in the Mid-Atlantic.
